I've already cut ties with Walmart, and will be drastically diverting purchases away from Amazon whenever possible.
Once you get it in your mind that "yeah, I'm not supporting Nazis", it's really easy to reject anything and everything American.
And for anything that isn't made in Canada or by a Canadian company, I'm happy to support our allies from around the world, too.
I've got some Amazon gift card balance on my account from Christmas. I'm not sure if it would be better to spend that (which would mean buying from Amazon) or to leave it (which would mean letting Amazon keep my money.)
The best you can do if you want to spend that on Amazon is to look for Canadian manufacturers. Amazon has a lot of small, local businesses, especially on food items.
Edit: also consider that Amazon already has the money if it's a gift card. Spend it on stuff you need and don't sweat it. Finding Canadian items should be easy.
Was also about to comment this. Amazon already has the money from the gift card purchase. Not spending it would technically leave Amazon with more profits. Try to find Canadian products there and use only the money from the gift card. Thanks for doing that : )
